After a successful Windsor Wine Fair on 11 November 2012, and many lovely meetings with Clive from Eton Vintners over the Summer, Eton Vintners is now to stock wines from our portfolio - Malvazija and Teran from Piquentum are kicking off. Watch this space for news of our tasting event to be held at Eton Vintners early in 2013. You never know... you may see Prince Harry dropping in from the Castle for a bottle, desperate to revisit happy memories of his summer holidays in Croatia!

Tamlyn Currin visited Istria with us in March and produced a mindblowingly detailed and wonderful account of her Croatian stay for Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages in August and September 2012. The 1st one can be found here: http://www.jancisrobinson.com/articles/a20120818.html - you do need to subscribe to Jancis's Purple Pages to read on, but it's worth it! Tasting Notes on all our wines are superb, and give a terrific insight into the work that is put into creating them by our gorgeous artisan producers. And thanks to Jancis for lending us the exquisite Tamlyn who made us laugh and made us happy.
